Chapter 66: Footprints Left by Charted Corpses (Three Watches)
Actually, I was also very strange, because I didn't have such a keen sense before, but now I can actually feel where the other person's glance is falling.
I even wondered if it was a hallucination caused by my own cranky thoughts, but it was more likely that I had more skills after the previous accident.
The other party's eyes were so resentful, and the eyes were still locked on my left arm, of course, I couldn't ignore it, and I immediately turned around and looked behind me.
The lights in the living room were turned off when I went upstairs, and I couldn't see who it was in the dark, but I could feel that the eyes were there, and they were still watching me in the dark.
My father had already reached the corner of the stairs and saw that I was not following. Instead, looking behind him, he also stopped and glanced into the dark living room, and then sighed: "Ji Zang, follow me upstairs to rest." ”
There was a hint of helplessness in those words, and a hint of pleading. I immediately remembered what he had said to me before he entered the door: no matter what happens, bear with it, just give him face.
I turned my head, stopped looking behind me, and walked slowly up the stairs. As I followed my father around the corner of the stairs, I felt the resentful gaze that had been staring at me disappear.
As I followed my father, my mind filled with questions: Who was the owner of that vicious gaze? My father must have found out about the other party, or he wouldn't have said that to me, he obviously meant to calm me down.
It's just, who is the other party and why does he hate me so much? That resentful emotion, even from behind my back, I can feel how much resentment the other party has?
But I obviously went home for the first time in my life, and I didn't have any enemies here, so what was the reason for this person who hated me to the bone?
Moreover, the father knew about the existence of the other party, why didn't he stop it? On the contrary, it is helpless? I am his son, and some people hate me to the core, but he actually has a calm attitude.
Just as I was about to finish the stairs, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I finally guessed a possibility: the resentful eyes should be Ji Ling's mother's, that is, my titular stepmother. Only if it was her, my father would be so helpless.
It's just, why does she hate me so much?
Although it is said that the stepmother and the children of his ex-wife are natural enemies, but I have not lived in the Ji family since I was a child, and I have not said that I will come back to rob the family property, what reason does this woman have to resent me?
With a stomach full of confusion, I followed my father into a room upstairs, which was a study, with bookshelves full of books and a bed in the corner, which was still quite clean.
"This is my study, I sometimes work late at night, I will occasionally rest here, I just changed the new bed cover two days ago, I haven't used it once, you can sleep here tonight."
After speaking, his father turned around and walked outside, and when he was about to close the door, he suddenly said: "Your Aunt Xue has some knots in her heart and has some opinions about you, don't be like her." ”
After he walked for a while, I understood what he was talking about Aunt Xue. It's Ji Ling's mother. But the question is, I haven't been at home since I was a child, where does she get her opinion? I live in Jijia Village, have you eaten a grain of rice in Huangjialing? Where did she get her opinion?
Is it because of my mother? Is it because her father has been thinking about her mother all these years, so because of the jealousy of women, she hates the house and Wu?
When you think about it, it really makes some sense. Isn't that also the plot in those palace fighting dramas, what reason does a woman tell you? People hate you and hate you, there is no reason for it.
After thinking about all this, I no longer dwelled on this matter, but became curious about my father's study.
Everyone is full of curiosity about their parents, so children especially like to turn over boxes and cabinets at home, occasionally turning out some strange shape of balloons, with a mysterious protruding elastic rubber rod, if you take it out to play with your friends, you will be beaten by your parents, but it still can't change the child's nature to turn things over.
Although I am past the age of a bear child, I have returned to this strange home and lived in my father's study. How could I not be a little curious?
The shelves were full of books, and I skimmed through them and found that a large part of them were related to metaphysics, what Zhou Yi gossip, and many ancient books that I couldn't understand at all. What Taoist talismans and so on.
In addition to these metaphysical books, I also found some cutting-edge physics books such as quantum mechanics on another shelf, which made me dizzy just by looking at the name, and it was even more difficult for me to understand than those Zhou Yi and the like.
This made me deeply suspicious, and my father was metaphysics. It's cutting-edge physics again, and the span is too big, right? One is science and the other is metaphysics, which should be 108,000 miles apart, and I have never heard of two things being studied together.
Wait until I pick up a stack of printed paper reports on my desk. I almost didn't bare out of my eyes, and the title of the paper was: The Dialectical Unity of Chaos Theory and I Ching Divination.
What is this? Can a scientific theory like chaos theory be linked to I Ching divination?
At this moment, the door was pushed open again, and my father walked in with two batteries: "The battery of the remote control of the air conditioner is dead." I've brought you two verses. ”
When he saw me holding the paper, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm engaged in theoretical research, if you are interested, you can take a look." ”
After my father left, I turned on the air conditioner. Lying in bed, but unable to sleep.
Not only because my soulless left arm has been aching, but everything that happened tonight is replaying in my mind like a videotape.
Who is the man who manipulated the rats? Trick me out of town. Absorbing the power of those resentful spirits, do you want to sacrifice me to summon corpse demons?
Huangjialing obviously hides a lot of secrets, those empty restaurants, the world behind the glass mirror, the broken glass mirror will turn into powder and disappear. The Ji family must know all this, but they are hiding it from me.
What's more, my father urged me and Yuan Ling to leave when we first met, obviously for my good, but it was just one night. There was a complete change of attitude, what was going on here?
I lay on the bed and thought wildly, and suddenly smelled a fragrance, like the smell of sea fish, and tonight I ran away again, and I was almost sacrificed, and I tossed for so long, the little dinner in my stomach had already been digested, and now I smelled the food, and the cravings in my stomach suddenly attacked.
I got up. I turned on the light, searched the room for a long time, and finally followed the smell in the corner next to the desk, and saw a can with a lid open a gap, and a cat food basin next to it. The tantalizing aroma wafts out of the can.
I picked up the canned food and took a closer look, and my heart was suddenly extremely entangled: what the special thing turned out to be canned cat food, is it possible that I am embarrassed to grab canned food with cats to eat?
But I'm really hungry! And this can smells so good. I took a closer look, and it turned out to be a very expensive imported canned fish.
I used to read a post online. A local tyrant posted that his cat has to eat hundreds of yuan a meal, and the sticker posted is this kind of canned fish, and a group of netizens lamented that people are not as good as cats.
I didn't expect that my cheap father was still a local tyrant cat slave, and he was willing to buy such expensive canned fish to feed the cat.
I struggled for a while. In the end, I decided to put the canned fish back in its place - even if I was hungry, I couldn't eat canned cat food, so should I see anyone in the future?
When the father finds out that the canned cat food has been stolen by his son, what will he think? That picture, just thinking about it makes me ashamed.
Just as I was putting the canned cat food back in its place and about to get up, I suddenly noticed two faint footprints on the floor in front of my desk.
It was the slender footprints of a woman, barefoot, directly across from the desk. If it's just a pair of footprints, I won't care so much, no matter what kind of woman it is, what relationship it has with my father, I can't control my father's affairs as a junior.
But the problem is that the footprints are faintly charred. I've seen this kind of charred black mark several times before, Sasha is like this after she becomes a charred corpse, and so is the charred corpse of the godmother.
With a trembling hand, I reached out and wiped it lightly on the footprint. The black ash is slightly sticky and oily, which is characteristic of the human body when it is burned to the ground, because the human body has fat and secretes oil at high temperatures.
Looking at those inconspicuous footprints, my heart fell into the ice cave, which looked new and obviously left today.
What kind of guest is coming to my father's study today?
Could it be that this is why the father changed his mind?
